Guess I had better experiences with tight spaces than you all. Buddy of mine I worked on the side for had a river tow fleeting service and every so often would have a barge hull or old tow boat go to leaking, we would drag them out on the bank and cut out the thin steel sheeting eventually welding in new. To finish the job on a barge hull we used 5/16 'Drag Rod' on the INSIDE of the double hull barges, lay on a creeper, start the weld and shove ourselves along in a space 16-22" tall with split bracings every four feet would have to negotiate around. Used string lighting to make it less intense and had a blower at the foot end pushing the smoke out the other end but could not sit up at any time until ran out of rod or needed a break. I would not fit in those anymore, grew a little thicker in the middle!! where back then weighed in at 155# 6'2" tall with a 28" waist.

Mom can't handle them....she's been claustrophobic her whole life.
 
I think I would be OK.  Been in plenty of tight quarters, never been too worked up during the time.  Can't be much worse than laying belly down, head forward, on the straw walkers in the tunnel all the way to the beater for an hour digging out snow/chaff/dustLOL
